If you feel like you could use an overview of the new healthcare law - the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act - head over the the Kaiser Family Foundation's website and watch their nine-minute animated video. Cokie Roberts narrates, explaining the problems the law's designed to address and its major provisions.
If you want more details, check out KFF's Implementation Timeline, which lists and briefly summarizes the various provisions that will be taking effect each year (including several that were implemented last month).
And for a more irreverant look at dysfunction of the status quo, I still love the "Boyfriend with Health Benefits" music video.
